PCI Express x1 Slot
PCI Express3.0 x16 Slot
The PCI Express x1 slots that are designed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card. The x1
slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.
The PCI Express3.0 x16 slot is reserved for a graphics or video card. The bandwidth of the x16 slot is up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec
concurrent).
When installing a PCI Express3.0 x16 card, be sure the retention clip snaps and locks the card into place. If the card is not seated
properly, it could cause a short across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the screw used
to hold the blank cover.
